The volume of the box is represented by (x^2+5x+6)(x+5). Find the polynomial that repersents the area of the bottom of the box.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You know that the volume is L*W*H; (length times width times height}
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You know that the area is L*W; another words you can say that to get the volume
\n" ); document.write( "you can mult the area by the height, right? (L*W) * H
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Since the area consists of two factors (L&W), it would make sense that the area is
\n" ); document.write( "(x^2 + 5x + 6), It can be factored to (x+3)(x+2), one representing the length and
\n" ); document.write( "the other the width. Of course the height is (x+5)
